Water and nature themes have always been part of Carol’s work. Growing up by a wide winding river in the Midwest, studying art in the mountains of Kentucky, living in Chicago near Lake Michigan and in Seattle by Puget Sound, and now living on rural Whidbey Island have all shaped what and how she sees. A beautiful line or form and fine detail have always caught her eye. Combining these elements harmoniously into a pot that is functional as well is very satisfying. Through this work she connects with people in the simple activities of life - serving food, displaying flowers, creating a quietly beautiful focal point in a room, or taking a moment to reflect with a cup of coffee or tea. StillFire Pottery’s current line of pottery is distilled from a lifetime of working with porcelain clay, loving beautiful classical form, and being inspired by the intricacies of her created high-fire glazes combinations. |
